My feeling is that the PC should not be relied on for all the programming but make it easier to do the intial setup. I feel that a good UI is the key. I would give up the idea of PC pragramming ability if the manufacturers would make an easy to understand UI. it is difficult ti have to burrow

Has anyone here given thought on this thread that controls stick position at the transmiter doesn't really tell you anything at all about actual control throws at the surface of the model? Linkage, horn length, slop, flex, servo type and other variations wilklhave an effect on actual throw.
